The Miami Heat don’t have a pick in either round of this month’s NBA Draft. But Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra, among other Heat staffers, have scouted incoming rookies.
And now, the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson reported that he spoke to a Western Conference team official that has had conversations with the Heat. The official said that Miami hasn’t tried to trade for a first-round pick, but “seems to have interest in possibly acquiring a second-rounder.”
As I wrote about last month, Heat vice president of player personnel Chet Kammerer already said that his team has a slim chance of trading for a top-20 pick.
